The history of Jet Airways Konnect is just a year old. During the midst of the recent economic crisis around the world, many of the airlines across the world chose to close down many loss making routes and diverted their planes to more profitable sectors / routes where there was more utilisation of the total available capacity of the planes or the higher passenger load factor. Jet Airways was already running another low cost airline called JetLite and according to Jet Airways, the decision to launch another airline instead of expanding the existing one was taken to avoid regulatory delays associated with moving excess aircrafts and assests from Jet Airways to JetLite (#). As mentioned earlier above, Jet Airways Konnect is not a Low Cost Carrier (LCC) but offers a no frills flight where meals and other kind of refreshments are to be purchased on board the aircraft. In order to identify whether the flight is a full service flight or a Jet Konnect service flight, the Konnect flight numbers are in the series of 9W 2000-2999.
Jet Airways Konnect Reviews
When Jet Airways announced Jet Konnect services, I thought, it was yet another LCC (low cost airlines) like others and since I am a frequent traveller with Jet Airways, I thought I would definitely see what kind of service they provide. When I checked in, I thought Jet Airways had done a mistake and I thought they gave me a boarding card for the wrong aircraft. I later found out that Jet Airways Konnect is not a LCC but it is only an economy version of Jet Airways with no frills. I think it is a great value addition and customer satisfaction for travellers and I would definitely keep buying Jet Airways Konnect services from Jet Airways. – Chandran Naidu, Chennai.
I don’t know what Jet Airways thinks by starting this airlines service. People get confused that Jet Konnect is yet another airlines owned by Mr Naresh Goel but I now came to know after almost a year after it was launched that it is not separate airlines. I try to book Jet Konnect most of the times because I get cheaper jet airways flights. Thanks to Jet for such service. I also find that there are now more cheaper flights to smaller destinations where Jet earlier was keeping higher prices. – Sanjay, Nagpur.
